I think this is why detachment is so key. I used to believe it meant that you didn't really care if you got something. Which makes no sense, if you desire something, you desire something. You should deserve to have it.
But when you are ATTACHED to it, it means somewhere you don't believe it's going to happen. So that's when all these opposing, cancelling thoughts come into the picture.
If you TRULY believed you were going to get what you wanted (or as we would say here that you already have it) you probably wouldn't think about it too much. You'd be detached, because it's already there. Like the air we breathe, we know it's there... we need it to live but we're not attached to it because there is no doubt involved. Should be the same way for intentions.
